The chart maps out over 250 shapes of pasta, organized by make— hand (tagliatelle, gnocchi, pappardelle, etc.) and machine (penne, rigatoni, fusilli, etc.); shape —long and narrow ribbons, short and wide tubes, hand-rolled strands; appearance —meteorological, irregular and amorphous, nest or ribbons, and more. They've got everything from supermarket standards to obscure regional specialities made only by nonnas deep in the hills of Italy.

We're giving away one grand prize of a framed poster in Pop Chart's handsome new Oak Poster Rails, plus three unframed runner-ups. To win, all you have to do is write a short (1-3 line) pasta poem and leave it in the comments below.
